THE Cassia County Times whose
bugle blasts give but few uncertain
sounds makes a point blank shot and
strikes the bulls eye in the center in
the following well written editorial:
The administration Of President
Cleveland has already brought the
strong and aggressive leaders of the
democratic party to the front. and
placed the weak and the shutting in
the rear And this is what the Amer.
lean people like. Strong convictions
are worth fighting for. Excuses and
explanations are poor ammunition.
A half hearted advocacy Of Democratic
truth is not as likely to succeed as an
earnest advocacy of false Republican
principles. What the country is look.
ing for in the next presidential cam,
paign is not an evasion of the issues
at stake, but bold attack in the open
field. If the Democrats pursue this
policy, putting immediate revenue re
uuctloh ana the preservation OF the
public domain in the front rank. and
inaugurate a movement all along the
line, they will very quickly discover
that the common sense of the country
its honesty, its patriotism and its bus
mess interests are with them. What
the people have no patience with. is
stumbling and shutting, party in.
trigues for personal purpose and gain
and a timidity which neither talks

THE Butte Daily Mines in an edi-
torial on the Statehood of the Terri
tories. puts in these timely words:
The Miner and its constituents are
opposed to the scheme of Senator
Stewart, of Nevada, to cut Idaho up
on the plan of adding the bulk of it
to the State of Nevada, in order to
give him the standing of a Senator
representing a bigger and a better
State. This precious plea was ignored
last spring by the President after it
had been lobbied through both Houses
BY the willy Senator from Nevada The
bill was defeated in the last hour BY
a timely pocket veto, and we feel as
sured that such light Will be shed up
on the subject at the next session
that the Senator cannot pull il through
either House of Congress 1t was only
passed last session by the suddenness
with which it was sprung and the
lack of time for members to look into
it intelligently. As to admission gen
orally, The Miner would see all OF the
Territories clothed with the dignity
and honor of Statehood on the Home
Rule principle, which it believes to
be solution of the great problem in
this country as well as in Ireland.
